TECHNICAL MENTORING

I value knowledge sharing in IT—learning by teaching and delivering technical talks. I led formal mentoring sessions for company developers and local tech communities, designing JavaScript slide decks covering core concepts, asynchronous programming, and best practices. Sessions focused on practical examples to improve code quality, technical reasoning, and problem-solving.
